English abstract

This article considers the cycle of knowledge generation proposed by Nonaka and Takeuchi and sets out how the different indicators and expected results within the information literacy (IL) standards used in higher education contribute to this cycle. After analyzing each standard and its interrelation with the four options to generate knowledge of Nonaka's cycle, it was identified that these standards are more geared to the generation of explicit knowledge, and therefore, it is necessary to work on other activities, and new proposed standards of IL that promote the generation of tacit knowledge and information processes needed.

Spanish abstract

Este artículo considerando el ciclo de generación de conocimiento propuesto por Nonaka y Takeuchi y los diferentes indicadores y los resultados esperados dentro de los estándares de alfabetización informacional (ALFIN) utilizados en la educación superior, establece cómo este ciclo puede contribuir al desarrollo de dichos estándares. Después de analizar cada norma y su interrelación con las cuatro opciones para generar conocimiento del ciclo de Nonaka, se identificó que estas normas están más orientados a la generación de conocimiento explícito, y por lo tanto, es necesario trabajar en otras actividades, en nuevas normas de ALFIN que promuevan la generación de procesos de conocimiento tácito.
